A delightful dark comedy about a group of girls who accidentally kill someone. Seven young female criminals, led by an over-enthusiastic social worker, work off community service hours by collecting garbage in a haunted forest when they accidentally kill someone. Flashbacks tell their backstories in a mix of folk-horror and teen comedy.

After Juliane's boyfriend ends their long-term relationship, she embarks on an almost restless search for something new to fill the void, while her best friend Tom has his eye on her. The sun is shining in the park and it's beautiful. The film deals with expectations of relationships and the attitude towards life of modern people in the big city.

A hybrid work of nocturnal forays through Hamburg in documentary-animated live action. Alongside feminist social criticism, autobiographical references remain never fully deciphered. Alongside the gloomy Wanda Wandalis and Krossen Kerlen, "Didi" enriches the director's dark excursions and artistic positions in a fascinating way with his presence as an eccentric character. This love, embodied by Dietrich Kuhlbrodt (known for his subversive roles in Christoph Schlingensief's films), brings unmistakable charm and humor to the collaboration with Pachet Fulmen. "I'm not interested in pigeonholing," says Fulmen. Her art is a rebellion against convention — uncompromising, uncomfortable, unforgettable.
